any other teachers?

I am a teacher and would love to TTC right now, but I am really wanting to wait to start trying until the end of july so that I could hopefully have a baby next spring or summer, but everyone around me is popping them out. I really dont want to have a baby at the beginning of the school year but there are days when the baby bug hits hard ; ) anyone else struggling with this?

i am a teacher as well. i battled with "when is the right time" for a few years. finally when we relaxed and decided that there are always good times and bad times no matter what time of the year you choose. truth is now you will be a mommy first and teacher second. put you desires first... your students will always been there when you get back.

I'm a teacher and I have extreme baby fever! I am hoping to TTC in July or Augus,t because that would put the EDD at the end of the school year. That would allow more time with baby, since I will only be able to take the 6-8 weeks off. But I also know that it could take awhile to get pregnant, so I have decided to start trying then and what will be, will be. But everytime I see a baby or my friends who are pregnant I want to start trying, but there are a few things I need to take care of before I start to TTC. This is my 5th year teaching, but for the past 2 years I have had a temporary contract due to lay offs from budget cuts. I have to wait to see if I get a temp contract for next year before I try to concieve. Every year thye give us all back our jobs, but it is always a waiting game. I am not really worried about it though, but want to play it safe. I think what I'm most nervous about is teaching with morning sickness and having to go to the bathroom all the time. Baby dust to everyone!!

I'm also a teacher and struggling with that same thing...when is the best time? We started TTC last month and that would've been an Aug baby, if we get preggers this month it'll be a Sept baby. If this time around doesn't work we're going to take a couple months off and start up again in April which would be a January baby. I plan to take about 1/2 a school year off when it does happen. It would be great to take the second half and have it connect with the summer vacation but we shall see. If it happens this month then I'll be taking the first half of next school yr off. GL to you and again, it will just happen when it's supposed to happen. (We aren't going back on the pill or anything during the 3 month break...just trying to skip the "O" week.) Baby dust!

I'm a teacher as well. I always wanted to have a baby in about April, so that I could have my maternity leave then summer vacation before going back to work. Originally DH and I planned to start TTC next spring, but have recently just decided to start anyway. I figure it may take a while, so maybe the timing will line up right anyway. And if not, I'm okay with it. Having a baby, regardless of timing, will be such a blessing. We'll just work with whatever we get.

I'm a teacher too! I was very big on conceiving in June or July so that I could have a due date as close to summer as possible. Well, we did it and were expecting at the end of this May. I m/c'ed at the beginning of November, so that won't be happening ;(. As of next month, we'll begin ttc again & i am proud to say that we wont be thinking about planning the due date anymore! We'll take a baby whenever we can!! ;)

I am a teacher, but at the moment I am into other type of business... :-)
Anyway, I had similar concerns, as some important things are always happening in my job... Then, I got up one morning and I ralised that these important things can and will happen even if I am not there, and that my priority is to work on having a baby :-) what I want to say is that it's all about options and choices... Girls, whatever you decide - good luck and happy holidays!

I am also a teacher and wanting a baby. Â I always had the perfect plan of getting pregnant and being due in April or May to have the long vacation. Â This summer it happened, but then we miscarried :( Â I no longer care about due dates I just want a baby! We are going to try again in January. Â We wanted to try sooner after the miscarriage (the due dates would have been August or September), but my district will not pay for maternity leave if you do not start your contract. Â Soooo....we are waiting until January with a due date of October. Â I am hoping October works well for my class because I am looping up with them, so the start of the school year won't be as traditional because we already know each other.

Good luck to you, any time always ends up being the right time!

Hi! I'm a preschool teacher. I also planned the baby for April or May so I could have 4 whole monts with him. Conceived in July, which qas AWSOME but had a MC in september. So we're soon going to TTC again, as soon as the BW shows good prog levels. Not worrying about the due date anymore. Just hoping and praying for a healthy baby. Lots of babydust to us all!!! ;-)

I am a teacher too. We didnt thinj about due dates and just ttc. Got preggers the 2nd month trying but miscarried at 5 weeks. We start trying again next month. It was so hard to wait this month out...even had a pos ovulation test...but doc says to wait one cycle. I dont really care when my due date is as long as we have money saved so I can take as much time as I want to. In TN we can take 16 weeks without losing any problems but I am a first year teacher so dont have a lot of time built up. Im most worried about stress and the effect on the baby. 4th graders are not the easiest group work with.

I am a teacher and decided I didn't care when I gave birth. I figure anytime would be bad for my class. We did get pregnant with a due date in July, but miscarried. I thought that would have been awesome because I would have had a whole month before the baby off to rest and prepare. Right now I am hoping for an October baby, I figure I would take off until Thanksgiving or Winter break. That way I could get the school year started and have the kids all doing things my way before I took off. Thankfully my husband will watch the baby during the day and work evenings, so that we will not have to pay or worry about childcare. I also figure that by the time summer vacation rolls around the baby would be 8 months old and a very fun age to be home with for the summer.

Preschool teacher here. I too was struggling with this, but decided to stop my pills mid October. No baby yet, but I know it will happen when it is suppose to happen! People say I am crazy for still wanting kids after working with 3 and 4 year olds.

Im a teacher and I've decided whenever we are blessed with a child then that's when it will happen. Cause I really wanted to have a child in the spring so. Would have the entire summer off but I can't plan everything. Baby dust to you all!

Hi All,I'm one of those teachers who needed to have the timing down perfect...mainly to maximize maternity leave and to spend the most time with my new baby. The first time it worked perfectly! I had my baby March 31 and got to utilize all 6 weeks of maternity leave and stay home with my baby until late August when school started again. The second time it was off a little...delivered my baby May 29 so I only used 3 weeks of maternity leave and my baby was a little younger than I liked when I went back at the end of August. However, I have learned the hard way that timing isn't everything. My hubby finally agreed to try for number 3. I was so psyched! But....it was fall, not the time I wanted to conceive. But I figured a little practice wouldn't hurt. :) Well...we were extrememly lucky and my wish had come true, Number 3 was on the way! But...expected arrival was mid-July. Wah....no maternity leave for me and poor little baby would only be 6 weeks old when I went back to work, rather than my optimal of 5 months. So I must admit, I wasn't thrilled with the due date but after a few weeks, a July baby didn't sound so bad. Then, the worst possible thing happened. We went for our 8 week appointment, what we thought would be one of the happiest days of our lives, the day we would see our newest addition on the ultrasound. It turned out to be the worst day of our lives by far. Our little bundle of joy didn't have a heartbeat. Too painful to put into words. But the moral of the story: Take your baby whenever you can get them. Planning is great but don't put too much emphasis on it. I'm sure we all agree that a baby is a blessing no matter when it arrives. Kind of like a planning period at school....I'll take it whenever I can get it! :) At school, any free time is good time, no matter when you get it!Best of luck to everyone....baby dust is in the air...the best extremely sticky kind!
